Nobody thinks the migration his half the problem?
I like this new forum, it is better than the old as far as moderation is concerned, but there is a flaw. It's pretty much dead too.
New magic players found the old one with ease, and we were there to answer questions and help out, this one, not so much. Familiar faces here all the time, but none new, and what do we actually have going on? One deck thread, derp files, maybe two other threads getting a post a day? Great place, good moderation, nobody here either though.
True enough, but then again, this place has only been in existence for two months. If you help spread the word, we can build a really nice player base, but without people bringing in new players and spreading the word, it'll remain small.

For my part, that whole Spellslingers thing was... Disheartening.
People saying they would own me at Magic, stereotyping those that like Felicia Day, Saying the thread was... hold on, gotta look this up... Ah yes; "Viral Marketing" (still not sure of the context or implication on that one was). Not a whole lot was said about the topic itself, and of what was, only two people actually had anything positive to say.
I mean, here is better than the official boards. For me at least.
But it's not easy to shake the first impression that people here don't share the same interests as me, or will have already drawn conclusions based on the things I like.
I mean at some point I'm going to try again, but still....
EDIT: I edited the crap out of this by the way. I'm done now. What's said is said.
